Current Events

by Ralph Arlyck

"A deeply personal, funny and moving work...How the treatment of such a huge and hopeless problem can alternate between humor and memorable deep thoughts is a tribute to Arlyck's genius."
The Post Newspapers, San Francisco

MORE ABOUT THE FILM

Unspeakable things occur daily in the world, but for most of us, they are like electronic interference on the screens of our personal lives. This lyrical, reflective film diary looks at a citizenry overwhelmed and benumbed by a ceaseless stream of media images. Current Events asks how a decent person can take the step from concern to action--how to be a "mensch" in the 20th Century.
